AMD Radeon RX 7600 vs Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Radeon RX 7600 and the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile. The head-to-head field is empty, and the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no recorded benchmark scores of its own. The AMD Radeon RX 7600, by contrast, has a full suite of ten benchmark results across DirectX, OpenCL, Vulkan, and compute workloads.

What can be established from the recorded data is the RX 7600's absolute performance profile. Its highest raw compute score comes from Geekbench OpenCL at 88,051 points, followed by its Geekbench Vulkan result of 34,401 points. In the Passmark suite, the GPU delivers a G3D score of 16,634, a G2D score of 984, and a GPU compute score of 8,790. Legacy DirectX tests show 226 in DirectX 9, 172 in DirectX 11, 84 in DirectX 10, and 58 in DirectX 12. In the modern 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, it records 2,310 points.

The RX 7600's average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 15,171. That average places it at the 57th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in the aggregate rankings are tightly clustered: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM averages 15,199 (0.2% ahead), the AMD Radeon 680M averages 15,270 (0.7% ahead), the AMD Radeon Pro 560X averages 15,082 (0.6% behind), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti averages 15,063 (0.7% behind). The RX 7600 therefore sits in a narrow band where a single percentage point separates it from all four nearest competitors.

Since the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no benchmark entries, no direct score comparisons can be made. Its percentile rank of 50 is listed in the database, but with an average benchmark score of 0, that percentile cannot be validated through any recorded workload. The practical outcome is that all quantitative performance analysis in this comparison must come from the RX 7600's measured results and its position relative to named rivals.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 wins every category where data exists. It has recorded wins in ten benchmark tests, while the Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has zero recorded wins. The RX 7600's strongest results are in compute-oriented workloads: Geekbench OpenCL at 88,051 and Passmark GPU compute at 8,790 both indicate substantial general-purpose throughput. Its Vulkan score of 34,401 shows strong cross-platform graphics performance, while the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 2,310 demonstrates modern DirectX 12 capability.

The RX 7600 also holds a clear advantage in legacy API performance. Passmark DirectX 9 scores 226, DirectX 11 scores 172, and DirectX 10 scores 84. These numbers indicate that the card maintains solid performance on older titles and APIs, not just modern workloads. The DirectX 12 Passmark score of 58 is lower than the DirectX 11 result, which may reflect workload differences between those specific tests rather than an overall API weakness, given the much higher 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score.

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile, with its 25 W TDP and IGP form factor, has no recorded wins because it has no recorded benchmark results. Its specifications suggest a different use case: integrated graphics for portable devices, with system-shared memory and portable-device-dependent display outputs. The RX 7600, by contrast, is a 165 W dual-slot discrete card with 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

For workloads that stress raw throughput, the RX 7600's numbers speak clearly. Its pixel rate of 169.9 GPixel/s and texture rate of 339.8 GTexel/s are backed by 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The Intel part's 128 shading units, 8 TMUs, and 4 ROPs yield a pixel rate of 9.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 18.4 GTexel/s. Without benchmark scores for the Intel part, the specification gap cannot be translated into measured percentage differences, but the RX 7600's recorded results and its 57th percentile ranking confirm it as the only one of the two with a validated performance profile.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural lineages and target entirely different market segments. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 uses the Navi 33 chip, built on RDNA 3.0 architecture with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation and is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The chip contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter.

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile uses the Wildcat Lake chip, built on Xe3-LPG architecture. It belongs to the Arc Graphics-M (Wildcat Lake) generation and is fabricated on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The database lists its transistor count and die size as unknown, so no density figure can be cited. Its predecessor is listed as HD Graphics-M, while the RX 7600's predecessor is Navi II and its successor is Navi IV.

Memory architecture separates the two fundamentally. The RX 7600 uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth and a memory clock of 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The Intel part uses system-shared memory with a system-shared type, bus width, and system-dependent bandwidth. Its base clock is 300 MHz with a boost of 2300 MHz. The RX 7600 runs at a 1720 MHz base, 2250 MHz game clock, and 2655 MHz boost.

Compute resources differ by an order of magnitude. The RX 7600 has 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 128 shading units, 8 TMUs, 4 ROPs, and 1 ray tracing core. Floating-point performance follows: the RX 7600 delivers 21.75 TFLOPS FP32 and 21.75 TFLOPS FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The Intel part delivers 588.8 GFLOPS FP32 and 1,177.6 GFLOPS FP16 at a 2:1 ratio.

Power and form factor differences are equally stark. The RX 7600 has a 165 W TDP, requires a dual-slot cooler, uses a single 8-pin power connector, and needs a 450 W suggested PSU. It connects via PCIe 4.0 x8 and measures 204 mm in length and 115 mm in height. The Intel part has a 25 W TDP, is an IGP with no power connectors, no suggested PSU, and an IGP bus interface. Its display outputs are portable-device dependent, while the RX 7600 offers 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RX 7600 was released on May 24, 2023, with a launch MSRP of 269 USD. The Intel part has a release date of April 15, 2026, and no launch MSRP is recorded. Both are listed as active in production.

The Verdict

The recorded data separates these two GPUs into distinct categories with no overlap in measured performance. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 has a complete benchmark profile, an average score of 15,171, and a 57th percentile ranking among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.7% of its average, placing it in a competitive mid-range band. Its 21.75 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth make it a discrete solution for gaming and compute workloads.

The Intel Arc Graphics 1 Xe Mobile has no benchmark results in the database. Its listed specifications, including 128 shading units, 588.8 GFLOPS FP32, and system-shared memory, place it in the integrated graphics segment for portable devices. Its 25 W TDP and IGP form factor confirm that role. The RX 7600's 165 W TDP and dual-slot design indicate a desktop-oriented discrete card.

For anyone selecting based on the database's recorded measurements, the RX 7600 is the only option with validated performance data. Its percentile rank, benchmark scores, and close rivalry with the RTX 3050 OEM, Radeon 680M, Radeon Pro 560X, and GTX 660 Ti provide a clear reference point. The Intel part's specifications suggest it is designed for a different class of device, but without recorded scores, no performance conclusions can be drawn from the data. The RX 7600's production status is active, its release date is May 24, 2023, and its launch MSRP is 269 USD. The Intel part's release date is April 15, 2026, and no launch MSRP is recorded.
